Questions & Answers about ما به دیگران وابسته نیستیم؛ خودمان مشکلمان را حل میکنیم.
Why do we use khodamân here instead of just saying mâ again?
The word khod- plus the personal ending -amân translates to "ourselves". In this sentence, it acts as an emphatic pronoun. Using khodamân instead of just mâ emphasizes that we do it ourselves, which perfectly contrasts with the first half of the sentence about not depending on others.
Both khodamân and moshkelamân end in -amân. Is this repetition necessary?
Yes, because the endings do two different jobs. In khodamân, the -amân tells us who the self refers to (ourselves). In moshkelamân, the same suffix acts as a possessive attached to moshkel (problem) to mean "our problem".
Why is the preposition be used before digarân instead of a word for "on"?
In English, we say someone is dependent "on" others, but in Farsi, the adjective vâbaste (dependent) requires the preposition be (to). You are expressing that you are not dependent "to" others.
Why does the direct object marker râ come after the possessive ending?
The word râ marks a specific direct object, which in this case is the whole phrase moshkelamân ("our problem"). Since the possessive suffix -amân is physically attached to the noun, the marker râ has to follow the completed word.
